Put your low-carb greens powder to good use with these dairy-free, sugar-free keto truffles. Made from just three nourishing ingredients and finished with your favorite superfood toppings, they’re a perfect low-carb treat.
Many members of the Healthful Pursuit community agree that even a clean keto diet benefits from a few targeted supplements. I’m not suggesting a shelf full of pills—just a couple of high-impact items that truly support health. One of my favorites is Genuine Health Greens+O, a greens powder designed for people with food sensitivities. It’s gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, GMO-free, low-carb and keto-friendly, and it’s widely available in grocery stores.
Greens+O delivers a range of benefits in a simple daily routine:
- Supports digestion and absorption of certain carbohydrates
- Provides vitamins and minerals while helping to clear toxins
- Promotes healthy gut flora and helps prevent gas, bloating and constipation
- Helps balance body systems and may reduce allergy symptoms
- Offers important immune system support
If you don’t always want a drink mixed with greens powder, these truffles are a delicious alternative. They give you the nutrient boost without the routine of a daily shake, and they make sticking to keto easier by offering a satisfying, nourishing treat.
We all experience moments of self-sabotage around food—times when deprivation or restriction creeps in and disrupts progress. When that happens you can either act out of frustration or acknowledge the feeling and move forward with compassion. Often the sense of deprivation comes from a mental pattern of “can’t” and “don’t,” not from real need.
Bringing a little freedom into your life—whether it’s time outside, movement, or simply creating a nourishing treat—can restore balance. For me, baking simple keto snacks helps me feel satisfied and stay consistent. These truffles are one of those recipes that feel indulgent and supportive at the same time.
Greens+O works beautifully in this recipe because it’s lightly sweetened with stevia and the vanilla flavor blends well with the coconut. If you prefer another greens powder, choose one you enjoy, as the flavor will be noticeable. If you can’t find a suitable greens powder, you can substitute 10 drops of liquid stevia plus 2 teaspoons of matcha or about 20 grams of a neutral protein powder.
These truffles are simple, quick to prepare, and flexible. You can keep them plain or divide the mixture and add cacao to half for a chocolate variation. Top them with hemp hearts, chia seeds, or extra shredded coconut for texture and visual appeal.
- 1 ½ cups (140 grams) unsweetened medium-shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons (20 grams) greens powder, vanilla flavor (see notes)
- ½ cup extra-virgin coconut oil, at room temperature
- To make cacao truffles, add:
- ¼ cup cacao powder
- Optional toppings
- Hemp hearts
- Chia seeds
- Unsweetened medium-shredded coconut
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. If using toppings, place a few tablespoons of each topping in small bowls and set aside.
- Combine shredded coconut and greens powder in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough blade, a food processor, or a large bowl with a handheld mixer. Mix until the coconut is evenly coated with the greens powder, then add the coconut oil.
- Mix until the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture at a time into your palm, roll gently into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Continue until all the mixture is used—this recipe makes about 14 truffles.
- Refrigerate the baking sheet for 15 minutes to firm the truffles.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Various flavors: To make a chocolate version, divide the dough in half and add 2 tablespoons of cacao powder to one half, mixing thoroughly before shaping.

The mixture should hold together lightly, as shown in the photos. You don’t need to roll the truffles tightly—just shape them gently between your fingers and move on to the next one.
A small bonus: your hands will feel soft from all the coconut oil—a pleasant side effect of making these treats.
If you’re considering this recipe as a way to include daily greens, the 20 grams of greens powder in the recipe is roughly three servings. The batch yields 14 truffles, so a single serving would be about 4–5 truffles. See the original recipe page for the nutrition breakdown per truffle.
